Lisa's Tips for Felted Wool Appliqué *To help stabilize wool and minimize stretching, apply fusible web interfacing to wrong side of wool. Use a pressing cloth to avoid marking the wool. A few dabs of basting glue can be used to hold the fusible interfacing in place if it doesn't bond successfully. *Make freezer paper templates. Iron freezer paper templates onto right side of wool. Without adding seam allowance, cut out each template shape along edge of paper template. Stocking Assembly 2. Layer stocking front on cream stocking back (Template AR), right sides together. Sewing 1/4" from edge, stitch layers together, leaving top edge open. Repeat process with stocking lining A & AR fabrics. 3. Turn stocking right side out. With lining fabrics still inside out, place lining inside stocking, aligning stocking and lining top edges. Using red/green check fabric, bind top edge of stocking (see Basic Quiltmaking Instructions). Make 2 stockings. 4. To make ribbon loop for hanging, fold 5 1/2" length of ribbon down 2 1/2" (see Diagram II). Fold remaining 1/2" up to cover one raw end.
